My feet are killing me. They have been since the first day in Bangkok where I walked all over the place with sandals that I hadn't worn in a long time. I didn't think there was a problem with them, but clearly I should have. At the end of the day I had two massive blisters on my right foot and some mystery ailment in my left--maybe a strained tendon--I don't know, but it's killing me when I walk. This is a huge problem because I just can't help myself. I need to walk and get out an see.

Then I have a massive patch of redness on my inner left thigh where bed bugs from Thailand(?) feasted on my blood. It's doesn't hurt. It's just irritating.

And finally, no surprise here, I've been savaged by mosquitoes despite nets and repellent and long clothing. I don't know what I did wrong, but clearly nothing worked.

These are the sorts of things that make me, despite myself and my ever present need to get out and explore, just want to stay home. It's tragic.
